This picture is from a poster in Germany, part of a new ad campaign for World AIDS Day. It has generated a lot of controversy, especially considering that some have viewed this as confusing Adolf Hitler with people with HIV/AIDS. I personally don't have a problem with this kind of public awareness campaign, because it elicits a great deal of controversy and gets people talking (which is the point of the ad campaign). The following video is difficult to watch, so for anyone squeamish about sex I don't recommend viewing it. However, it leaves a sinking feeling in my gut that dramatically conflates AIDS with the banality of evil.
